Zhongqiu stood outside the door with a chill all over his body, looking at the Empress Dowager who had died on the ground, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

It was Helian Xuan who sent someone to ask her to come, but she witnessed the death of the Empress Dowager with her own eyes.

Helian Xuan walked over and pinched her chin, "Are you scared?"

She raised her eyes and asked hoarsely, "Why?"

"She did something wrong, so she deserves to die."

What a clean and direct reason! She once again faced the emperor’s coldness and cruelty.

"My Consort Ming is so virtuous. You should handle the matter of the Grand Empress Dowager. It cannot affect tomorrow's wedding."

His tone was very subtle when he said this. Zhongqiu didn't dare to think too much and just nodded his head.

He walked around her and led his men into the hall.

She looked at the blood on the ground and said, "Help the Empress Dowager back to her room."

She stared at the palace maids changing her into clean clothes and letting her hair down. She lay on the bed with her eyes wide open, as if she was dying with her eyes open.

Zhongqiu personally lowered the bed curtain to cover everything, and ordered Jinling, "Send someone to guard here, and don't let anyone in or out."

She would wait until after tomorrow to discuss everything, she didn't want to worry about it any more.

Having uncovered such a huge secret, she took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then walked out of Yongkang Palace.

As soon as she went out, she saw Helian Xuan standing with his back to her and a man kneeling in front of him.

Helian Xuan said indifferently, "Deal with the Feng family before dawn. Qianji, don't let me down this time."

Qianji lowered his head and replied, "Yes."

"After you deal with the Feng family, you don't need to come back to report."

Qianji hesitated and asked puzzledly, "What does your majesty mean?"

Helian Xuan chuckled and said, "Go away, go as far as you can. You are free now and you don't have to come back forever."

Is there such a good thing? Qianji's face was full of disbelief, but in the end he didn't ask anything.

Since the emperor told them to leave, they left. He walked out of the palace with light steps, feeling that everything was incredible.

Zhongqiu had already noticed Helian Xuan's abnormality from all the abnormalities.

"Your Majesty, are you going to kill tonight?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to celebrate my wedding with blood?" Helian Xuan reached out and held her wrist. "My beloved, why are your hands so cold? What are you afraid of?"

She pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, which was uglier than crying. She met his faintly crazy eyes and whispered, "I have been too busy these days. I am just a little too tired."

Helian Xuan said in a voice so gentle that it made people's hair stand on end, "Everything will be over soon. Are you happy, my beloved?"

There was a hint of uncertainty in her words. She looked up at the dark night sky and did not answer his question.

Helian Xuan reached out and touched her face, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

"My beloved concubine, you hate me, right? I killed your beloved sister Gu and let your young man die on the battlefield. When we were lying in the same bed at night, you must have wanted to kill me countless times, right?"

Perhaps he had a premonition in his heart, Zhongqiu was not at all flustered by the exposure of his true identity, but just said calmly, "So, Your Majesty knows everything."

Helian Xuan met her expressionless gaze and laughed out loud, "Hahahaha, it's a little too late for me to think about this."

If he had not been greedy and asked to marry the girl from the Gu family, could they have lived together in harmony and grown old together?

And Gu Mingyue will also meet a young man who only has eyes for her, and everything will become different.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

"My beloved, wait for dawn with me."

In the Qingzhou Palace, Jiang Xue Ning knelt for a long time before coming out of the Buddhist hall.

The mansion was already busy. The maid assigned by the palace had someone prepare hot water and said politely, "It's time for the princess to take a bath."

After bathing and burning incense, she had to put on makeup. In short, marrying an emperor was a very tiring thing, with many rules.

Jiang Xue Ning finished her bath, put on simple clothes, and sat in the room.

Jiang Li pushed the door open hurriedly, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

She said, "Madam, please step aside for a moment."

The nanny tactfully withdrew. She had finally realized that this person was not someone she could afford to offend or give orders to.

Jiang Li drank half a cup of cold tea to calm down, then he said, "The Feng family and the Xiao family were attacked by a large number of assassins and secret guards at the same time.

The Xiao family seemed to have anticipated this, and the assassins missed their target, with few casualties.

The Feng family suffered a tragic loss. They were caught off guard and almost wiped out. "

The room remained quiet for a while. I knew there would be undercurrents tonight, but I didn't expect it to be so violent and bloody.

Jiang Xue Ning glanced at the cold night outside and said, "Do you know which force is behind this? It's not an ordinary person who dares to attack Xiao and Feng families at the same time."

"The fight is going on fiercely. Wu Sa is watching over there. I think the result will be known before daybreak."

Jiang Xue Ning continued to change her clothes, and Jiang Li also went out to get the news. The nobles of the Shangjing were all alarmed, but the Yulin Army was as quiet as death.

Normally, the entire capital should be under martial law for the wedding of the emperor and empress. The Yulin Army was on patrol at night, but they seemed to be blind and did not care about the attack on Xiao and Feng's families.

The Xiao family is fine, but the Feng family is the mother's family of the Empress Dowager. The more you think about the reason, the more frightening it becomes.

Jiang Xue Ning looked at the wedding dress embroidered with a phoenix, and let Qing He help her put on a white dress. It was not an ordinary white dress but a mourning dress.

She looked in the mirror and thought that this would be a more suitable way for her to go to Helian Xuan.

Caiyue brought her a bowl of bird's nest and said, "Princess, please eat something. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat until the ceremony is over."

She sat at the table, eating bite by bite, feeling strangely calm, without any major disturbances.

Wu Sa and Jiang Li, with a cold look on their faces, pushed the door open again.

Wu Sa looked at her in mourning clothes and raised his eyebrows. "She was really ruthless. She even spared the cats and dogs in the Feng Mansion."

She only cares about one question: "Who did it?"

"People from the royal family." Wu Sa said confidently, "And it was Qianji who personally led the group to do it. We fought in the dark prison before, and I won't make a mistake."

Jiang Xue Ning put down the spoon. She couldn't eat the bird's nest anymore. "If Qianji took action, it means Helian Xuan's intention. On the night before the wedding, he massacred the Xiao and Feng families. What does he want to do?"

Jiang Li was more worried about "the execution of the Feng family, the descendants of the Grand Empress Dowager, happened on the night before the wedding. Something must have happened in the palace. I'm worried that you will be in danger if you go in."

Although arrangements have been made, it is hard not to worry when it really comes to this.

Jiang Xue Ning stretched out her hand, looked at her red-painted nails with satisfaction and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine."

She was reborn in a mass grave, crawling out of a pile of dead bodies. It was not easy to get to where she is today, even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire waiting for her in the palace, she had to go.

Qinghe brought people to personally put on makeup for her, and put on her wedding dress, phoenix coronet and bridal robe, making her look extremely radiant and gorgeous.

Bright light shone in through the window. Caiyue reached out and opened the window to let the fresh morning air flow in.

Its daybreak.
